    Unable to change keyboard layout Windows 7 Ultimate x32


    Hi you all.
    I'm having a problem here that's driving me crazy..
    The option "Add keyboard layout" suddenly is unavailable.. I'm from Argentina, (that's my excuse for bad grammar) and my keyboard uses the locale es-es.

    My SO, as the thread title says, is Windows Ultimate x32.

    I recently installed the english language pack from windows update, hoping that some keyboards layouts would show up, but nothing happened..

    I also tried this. I downloaded the lp.cab Spanish package and installed it from the command line as administrator. Nothing changed..

    The following are two images from the Region/Language section in control panel.
    In the first one, in Input Language it says "Unable to read configuration" (Circled in red)
    The second one shows that when I click in 'Add Input Language' nothing shows up..

    I'm hoping someone could help me on this one.,
    I need to do some reports for college, and I can't use the spanish special characters..

    Thanks in advance..

    PS: System Restore is not enabled.

    Matias.

    Scroll down to "Vista" and see if this works for you:

    In Vista, you have to click on Regional and Language Options from the Control Panel. Then you need to click on Keyboards and Languages and then Change Keyboards.

    That's the problem,. when I do that, the list of available input languages to add, is absolutely empty..

    The second picture I uploaded in the first post shows that window..
